Dunlap Camp Tank is a reservoir in De Baca County, New Mexico, and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 2.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.1 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Dunlap Camp Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Dunlap Camp Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

To narrow down Dunlap Camp Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Before moving far on Dunlap Camp Tank, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.

How to Read the Water

During the first hour on Dunlap Camp Tank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

The early check on Dunlap Camp Tank should stay simple: shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

For a short trip to Dunlap Camp Tank, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

Keep the first check on Dunlap Camp Tank simple: record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
